general, E+ takes longer time for simulation than the DOE2 based simulation software.
It is hard to tell why it is taking so long without looking at the model . You
may want to post your question on DesignBuilder Support Forum (you can upload
your model their and someone will have a look at it.): <o:p></o:p></span></p>
